Visit the Rock Hall's virtual exhibition It's Been Said All Along: Voices of Rage, Hope & Empowerment here.
In every generation, musicians have responded in song and action to promote social justice and equality. What the world is seeing today, as injustices are called out and protesters are finding their voices, is not new. And neither are the musical responses - words and music and passion converging to create something much bigger that cuts deep into the rage, gives hope and radiates empowerment.
